Regarding Mac Anderson. He did play an excellent game tonight and I agree he does deserve more playing time. Two of his 5 fouls were total BS. The one foul, I think it was number 5 was a payback foul because Katz complained so dramatically in the previous offensive series when Espisto was hammered going to the rim. Mac was totally vertical on that last call and he knew he didn’t want to foul. Just because the refs missed a call does not mean they need to do a make up call at the other end. That’s on them and they should not penalize a player because of their mistake. But it happens all the time.
Mac’s deficiencies are his lack of upper body strength. He knows it, the coaches know it but he just doesn’t have the upper body torso to add weight even though he eats 5 meals a day. Espsto although 2” shorter carries 25 lbs. on Mac. Mac runs the floor as well as any big we have on the team. His steal and getting rewarded with a slam on the other end is a good example. I think the real book on Mac may be written on Saturday when they play Sac again. He could be our hidden gem, let’s hope. On Saturday, go Mac and go Griz!
